If i was to mount one of those, i would make a general. I love swordfighting those guys on legendary, all the other guys just stand back and watch while I own their leader, and even grunt ultras run away.
Also, I too lol'd at the arbiter when he was n8kdz in halo 2, and the fact that they have no "reproductive parts"
They probably have them, they probably just contract back up inside them or something like a snake's does. pretty confusing.

They can't just leave the arbiters junk hang out to scare some kid like a critter.
That is truly awesome. All of your work is so well made and inspiring.

Thanks man, I’ll try and get some pictures up. I’ve been real busy with things lately. New responsibilities at work & such. Also, the teeth are currently being redone. I keep making them to big I think.Tony, with those teeth in bro, it looks flat out sick. Looking forward to more on this. Best of luck with it.
I’ve followed your direction. I’ve spent more time making the shape look right, I’ve also sculpted someskin detail in the face, but I haven’t figured out the magic touch yet.
Lol…TY
Thanks man, I’m trying to do this right.
Thanks man, means a lot. Hopefully I have some decent updates on this by the weekend.
I cant disagree, they def resemble the elite in the cheeks. I def remember the movie. I’m 33…lol. I just don’t want to grow up.lol
Yup, they scared me too when I was a young one…lol.
True!!
Oh no, Arbiter junk…lol
Again, definitely scary…lol
I need to follow up more on my threads, I’m sorry guys, just been super busy. But I do appreciate everyone visiting this thread. Hopefully I don’t disappoint.
Be good 405thers!

@Nick Nack, I can’t wait!! Lol, you are crazy man, love the photos though!
OK, not a major update, but just an update to show that I am still working on it. I had to push back on the detailing (skin folds & stuff) I’m trying to fine tune the shape first. I need to pick up some more clay, but I won’t be able to get to the art store till next week. I have enough to finish the face up over the weekend (hopefully), but the rest of the neck will need to be finished next week. Well here you go.
I had to add more clay to the mandibles, because they were to thin, need to smooth and shape them better.
This is suppose to be the top/side view of the neck.
Then I played some REACH!!
One more thin, I've had somewhat of a major breakthrough with smoothing and skn detailing. The answer is was mineral spirits. i've bee using it to smoothout the model and it has helped tremendously. All in all, i'm using a bunch of metods, to smooth, but I really likethe mineral spirits idea.
Thanks for viewing my thread guys.

I have an Idea you could do two molds. One of the smoothed head shape with no teeth and detail to make the urethane cast. Then make a mold of it with all the details and textures for dragon skin or latex for a skin layer. It's just an idea. It looks awesome.

I like the elite's expression on his face. He looks mad.But that's understandable 'cause you are kind of mounting him lol.

Thank you kind sir! Lol, I appreciate the comment.
Thanks for the suggestion man. I am in fact doing two molds. Both will have detail, hopefully I am successful at building both molds, wish me luck..lol. Thanks again for the comments.
@everyone else, thanks for viewing my thread, I appreciate the compliments and suggestions, continue building guys.
@Seraph, give it a try and practice, practice, practice. You never know, you could be great. Keep building!
UPDATE!
I know peeps are going to think I keep putting the same old and busted pics up, but these are definitely new…lol.
Well, I think I’ve dialed in the mandible shape (Still needs little tweeks), let me know what you think, I’ll be detailing the hell out of this during the current week, so hopefully next week I can start the molding process. Let me know guys. It’s definitely taking me longer than I originally expected, but I believe I am getting there.
Just noticed, I need to fix the chin on this...ugh!
Start of the final teeth, I will be choosing the best, sanding, and polishing them and then finally molding them.
Thanks guys for viewing my thread!
